Sorry, but I'm shagged from two days of driving. I'd rather be vertical for the party than for tonight, so I'm out.

I'm thinking I will be able to make it. I think I have a couple of decent spare laptops to bring for the sale/trade stuff if anyone's interested.

I picked up a single box of Johnsonville® Original Bratwurst Patties from Sams......not sure how many people eat pork, so I only got one box; also, not sure you can cook them on a stick. Its frozen so in a cooler it will make the trip just fine.

(I forgot to get buns for my stuff, but can pick some up plus extra if need be)

When I get close, I can pick up a veggie tray or two, so that its nice and fresh.

How much water do we have? I figure that we will need to make at least one quick ice run, so we can always get more stuff.

I am sooo flippin' excited for the BBQ today! Fishie, please let me know if I can buy last-minute things to help out...I've already given Mom a bit of cash for sweetcorn, and I'll keep an eye out at the farmer's market for other goodies to bring too! I've always been a food-mooch in previous years, but I actually have moolah this year to contribute. Also, I'd love to come back Sunday to help clean up.

Anyone checking the LiveStream if you could report what you see if anything I would appreciate it. I fear the 0.12Mbps upload speed will kill the plan because all I can see when I try to view it is the "offline" message - but the connection is SO bad that might be a problem limited to this location...

Edit: It was working for a little while but the connection was so bad it might not be worth any further effort. Oh well.

That was fun! I'm glad it worked better than this morning. I will make sure to place an update in the thread before I start it up again. I plan on airing the cornhole tourney for sure and other random spots throughout the day. For now I'm going to take a crack at setting up the raft and then eat.
